Hi Rob. Just a question, as I've poked my nose in on this thread. Kyle's lsmod shows a module (snd-hdsnd-hda-intel) loaded. I can't find such a module as existing. would you post the output of lsmod | grep snd Are you using the same 2.6.26 kernel as Kyle? The latest I've got on my Lenny install is a 2.6.21, and I'm using an Audigy2 soundblaster card (emu10k1), and sounds have always worked out of the box on this card. I do know though, that there can be horrible problems with cards using hda intel. Nigel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
